I realized something today...American women tend to complain that they can never find a man and that men never compliment them, well that is because we have been trained to take compliments as being "hit on". I was at the market today in Sicily and one of the young market men looked at me and said, "you are so beautiful". Instead of taking his words as a compliment, I immediately gave him a slight look of digust and started laughing. It was my natural reaction to give him this look because of the culture that we live in--any stranger who says something like that to you must be a creep. I gave that fruit vendor a second glance and changed my view on compliments from strangers. That'll be the last dirty look I give a European man.
In other news--today I was watching New Moon and I saw the preview for a movie that has already come out in the states, Letters to Juliet. The movie looks so cute!

Tonight I'm making dinner. I found this recipe on one of the blogs that I read, this is the first time I'm making it--wish me luck!
